Cubs manager Joe Maddon indicated Saturday that Hector Rondon would begin the season as the Cubs closer.

Maddon did emphasize the importance of using his best relievers in high-leverage situations, so perhaps that's where Pedro Strop, Neil Ramirez and Jason Motte will wind up operating, with Rondon starting with a clean slate in the final frame. Rondon saved 29 games for the Cubs in 2014, posting a 2.42 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 63/15 K/BB ratio over 63 1/3 innings. Feb 21 - 3:07 PM

Hector Rondon pitched a perfect ninth inning Sunday, closing out the Brewers for his 29th save of the year.

Rondon faced just three batters, striking out one en route to the save. It was a great year for the first-time closer, finishing with 29 saves, a 2.42 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 63/15 K/BB ratio over 63 1/3 innings. With an improved squad next year, the 26-year-old should have a chance at his first 30-save season in 2015. Sun, Sep 28, 2014 06:59:00 PM

Hector Rondon tossed a scoreless ninth inning Saturday against the Dodgers for his 26th save of the season.

Rondon set the side down in order and struck out Matt Kemp swinging to end it. The 26-year-old has converted each of his last 12 save chances. He has 26 saves on the year to go along with a 2.58 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 61/15 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings. Sat, Sep 20, 2014 06:00:00 PM

Hector Rondon struck out two in the ninth in picking up his 23rd save on Monday.

Rondon did allow a hit in the frame, but the Brewers weren't able to push across a run. He's settled into a really nice groove, which must be difficult given how few save opportunities he gets with the Cubs. This marks Rondon's 9th save conversion in a row. He's now 23-for-27 in saves/opportunities with a 2.70 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 53 innings. Mon, Sep 1, 2014 05:33:00 PM
